Description
This book provides a critical review of the impact of international academics on teaching practices in higher education. As borders and boundaries become increasingly blurred, seamless teaching across cultures and political divides will be crucial for a thriving sector.
The book explores how teaching identities are constructed and influenced by culture and geopolitical factors, and how this shapes the emergence of the global teaching practitioner. It offers practical tools to improve both students' learning experiences and academics' classroom practices.
Of interest to researchers, students, practitioners, foreign language tutors, TEFL practitioners, human resource professionals, recruiters, and trainers working with international higher education staff, this volume provides valuable insights into the complexities of teaching in a globalised world.
